Synopsis

IT'S A HOLIDAY HUNT AT BIG RACK LODGE...AND CHERRY TUCKER JUST FOUND THE BODY.

From The Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Larissa Reinhart, the fifth in the Cherry Tucker award-winning Southern humorous mystery series. For those who love country-fried cozies with action, quirky characters, and a side of romance, you're going to love the trouble-magnet Southern artist and amateur-sleuth Cherry Tucker.

"With witty banter, Southern charm, plenty of suspects, and dead bodies--you will not be disappointed!" – Tonya Kappes, USA Today Bestselling Author

When Cherry Tucker's invited to paint the "kill portrait" for the winner of Big Rack Lodge's Hogzilla hunt, it seems like a paid vacation. Back home in Halo, a Hatfield-McCoy-style standoff builds between Luke and Cherry's families. She's ready for a weekend away, hobnobbing with rich and famous hunters, where she can forget her troubles and nobody knows her name.

As Georgia sunshine turns to bleak December rain, Cherry's R&R goes MIA when she finds a body in the woods. While the police believe the local drunk took an accidental spill, Cherry has her doubts, particularly when a series of malicious pranks are targeted at the rifle-toting contestants. With loyal companions at her side – sort-of-ex-husband Todd and a championship bayer named Buckshot – Cherry tracks suspects through a forest full of pitfalls and perils. And all the while, a killer's stalking the hunt party with a bead on Cherry.
